The war isn’t against Russia. The war isn’t against Ukraine. The war is against Europe and Germany. The purpose of the sanctions is to prevent Europe and other allies from increasing their trade and investment with Russia and China, because the United States saw that the centre of world growth is not in America now that it’s deindustrializing. Following neoliberal policies since the 1980s has ended up hollowing out the US economy. And how on earth can the United States maintain prosperity if it’s lost the ability to do wealth creation?
The only way of maintaining prosperity if you can’t create it at home is to get it from abroad. And the attempt, beginning a year ago, by President Biden and by the US neocons, was to block Nord Stream 2, and failing that, to block all energy trade and other trade with Russia. So that the United States could monopolize it itself. One of the main tools for the last hundred years of US control of the world economy has been by the oil industry. Controlling world energy trade. Energy is the key to the GDP, the productivity of every country, and the thought of energy trade passing out of US control into that of other countries threatened the United States’ ability to turn off other countries.

Från USA's håll en win-win.
Men är mycket som ska klaffa.
1. Ryssland blir också en förlorare. Så de måste få Ryssland att attacker till att börja med.
2. EU blir förlorare, och de reagerade skitsnabbt i sanktioner som kostar de själva ekonomiskt (kanske mer ett intryck jag fått av propaganda).
Ryssland kan skita i att attackera. Europa kan rycka på axlarna som vid Krimea 2014.
Riktigt "bra" jobbat av USA om de lyckats manipulera alla så.
